external functions

Hi all,
I've just got a request for help with external functions on a
compiler/OS combination we hadn't tried before. For gcc/OSF we need to
create another version of
ef_utility/platform_specific_flags.mk
with modified flags.
I thought that the Ferret users community might have figured out the
flags on several compiler/OS combinations and it would be nice to
include all of these in our code base and web pages.
Any contributions?
Thanks,
